- “Called Home”, a book by Larry Clark for Living Proof.
- Thirty years ago, Larry Clark’s directorial debut Kids (1995) hit theaters across the country, offering audiences a look into the lives of unsupervised teenagers as they skated, partied, had unprotected sex, and did drugs over the course of one day in New York City.
- In order to realistically depict the lives of youth in New York City during the ‘90s, Clark spent a number of years hanging out with skaters downtown, particularly in Lower Manhattan’s Washington Square Park. Through spending time in this scene, Clark would meet an 18 year-old Harmony Korine, who he later enlisted to write the film’s script, as well as many of the film’s actors, who were casted regardless of any prior acting experience.
- Initially receiving backlash for its shocking subject matter, Kids became seen as a cult classic, launching the careers of many involved including Chloë Sevigny, Justin Pierce, Harmony Korine, and Leo Fitzpatrick.
- Through photos taken by Clark from 1992 through 1995, “Called Home” captures the moments and people that inspired Kids, offering a look into the legendary scene which has forever left its mark in the city’s history.
